Consumer Description

GM HAS A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION LINES ON THE 2500HD. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE, AND NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN. THEY ONLY LEAK IN COLD WEATHER WHEN THE RUBBER IN THE LINE SHRINKS AT THE CRIMP CAUSING THEM TO LEAK. THE DANGER HERE IS THE FIRE POTENTIAL. DUE TO THE DIESEL REGENERATION PROCESS THAT BURNS OFF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER AND THE HEATS IT TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES THIS HAS A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE LEAKY TRANSMISSION LINES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF DURMAX PICKUPS, ON THE INTERNET. ADDITIONAL CONCERNS HERE ARE HOW ACIDIC TRANSMISSION OIL IS. IT ALSO HAS POTENTIAL TO DETERIORATE RUBBER STEERING COMPONENTS BOOTS BALL JOINT COVERS, ETC. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
